The '''Collegial Electorate''' was the body of prince-electors (''Latin: Princeps Elector'') of the Holy Levantine Empire responsible primarily for electing the Emperor of the Levantines, though some members of the Electorate also held additional High Offices of the Empire. The body was created via the Pragmatic Sanction of 997, and in most forms, they held responsibility for electing the Emperor from then to the dissolution of the Empire with an exception during the late 18th century. It was one of the three colleges of the Imperial Diet, and the senior-most of the three. | The '''Collegial Electorate''' was the body of prince-electors (''Latin: Princeps Elector'') of the Holy Levantine Empire responsible primarily for electing the Emperor of the Levantines, though some members of the Electorate also held additional High Offices of the Empire.
